ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying how body mass index (BMI) affects the activity of a muscle in the buttocks, called the gluteus maximus, in adults who have sacroiliac joint dysfunction. Sacroiliac joint dysfunction can cause pain in the lower back and is a common source of discomfort for many people. The researchers want to find out if a person's BMI, which is a measure of body fat based on height and weight, has any effect on how this muscle functions in people suffering from this type of pain.

To participate in the study, individuals need to be between 20 and 40 years old, have a BMI between 20 and 30, and have been experiencing mild to moderate sacroiliac pain for at least one month. Those with certain medical conditions, such as inflammatory diseases, a history of spinal fractures, or neurological disorders, will not be eligible. Participants will help contribute to our understanding of how weight might influence muscle activity in people with sacroiliac dysfunction, which could lead to better treatment options in the future.
